This is from my shopping trip to Poland! Feel free to send me a message if you want any more info on that. For reference, I believe that I had short, narrow roots with a very projected, omega shape. My best Cleo fit is the Meg then Marcie/Melissa.
First off, I was really impressed with the quality of the Kris Line I tried on during my trip. I know they can be pricey to get in the US, but the materials and craftsmanship are great and are worth it in my opinion. Probably one of the nicer brands I had the opportunity to try on.
This semi-soft has a fairly ...rounded shape and the materials are soft. The dusky rose and ivory/cream details make it pretty and feminine to me. While I love the decorative embroidery on half the straps, it does make it a bit annoying to adjust them short enough.
While the immediate projection is great for me, the gore is about 1/4" away from tacking.Pressing it down makes righty quad just ever so slightly. There is an elastic strip under the embroidered mesh top that might not make this friendly to people with tall roots or a lot of upper fullness.
The gore seems slightly shorter than Cleo. The 75 band is just on the verge of feeling too soft on the first hook, but not too terrible yet. I think a 70 on this might have been too tight. Read more 132 more words
I had little luck with Kris Line's semi-soft styles. Not familiar with the Anabel, do you have pics?
Yep, I'm hoping to add fit pics tomorrow night! I didn't have enough time after measuring 10 bras last night :P

Bought this from WhenInRennes, so what she said about the aesthetic and quality. It's a beautiful bra. I especially love the print on the bottom of the cups.
The gore doesn't tack for me either, although I get only the slightest quadding when I press it down with my finger. The band feels fine when I first put on the bra, but after a few hours wear the bottom of the gore digs in and the wires do too.
This is another of those bras that makes the girls stand at attention. The shape is pretty rounded and very projected. The padding on the lower part of the cups make it easy to wear under most clothing.
Like my Panache Jasmine, this one is for occasions when appearance is more important than comfort.
Great quality materials, however the band is more like a 32 which is disappointing. I'm about a 34ff right now aand this is about a cup size too smal. The fortuna models, lined and unlined seem to be wider and shallower than the the Brilliant and other unlined bras like the Ivy, which is great for me. I just wish I had ordered one cup size up.
I had heard that Kris Line bras ran large in the band, so I ordered my usual cup size in the smaller of the two band sizes I routinely wear. I should have ordered one band size down and one cup size up: I could wear this band on the loosest hook and the gore didn't tack (there was quadboob when I pushed it flat). I'm guessing that a 32HH would be best for me, although I normally wear 34GG or 36G.
The bra has three hooks but they are close-set, so at first glance it looks like there are only two. The oval spot effect which you see in the band and most of the cup is not dye, but small openings in the lace which allow the lining to show through. This gives it a more sophisticated look than the first impression.
